Storm's more solo friendly of the two, especially with dark covering its one hole (self heal).
would you rather,
1) turn your enemies into wimpy, limp-wristed, shivering spongecake with the unholy trinity of debuffs
or
2) knock them all over creation with multiple wind-themed powers (some of which also debuff, just nowhere near as much as /rad)
as cool as 1) sounds, its not very interesting to watch, just really effective. 2) on the other hand, is loads of fun.

Huh?
Unless I'm getting my numbers wrong, for a Corruptor Rad provides -regen and -dam that Storm doesn't, however Storm provides more -res, -def, -tohit, -rech and -runspeed than Rad (except when Fallout comes into play, which solo is never). Storm is very competitive with Rad for debuffing, certainly way above "nowhere near as much".

QFT, honestly storm is not as big a friggin mega-huge KB Nut to begin with. Its a great debuff set for more skilled players...something we are running low on as of late..
*also everything in /storm debuffs in some way.
D: Toss me a hai @DarkNat My Fify glory: Renzer Dark/Dark Corr., Renzro Dark/Dark Def., Amartasu Dark/Dark Scrap.Less important ones: Fire/Fire Blaster,Ice/Ice Blaster,Ele/Ele Brute, Mind/Storm Troll,Fire/Kin Corr.,Bots/FF MM., DB/Regen Scrap.
I'm trying to decide which char I should make for my new Corrupter (never having gotten one to 10 I think...).
I really like the idea of Dark/ as the primary, but cannot decide on a seconday. I've narrowed it down to /Rad or /Strom. I haven't seen much mention of Storm on this board, at least relating to Dark.
I'll be mostly soloing this character... and I *usually* play Controllers or Defenders (just some background).
Do these mesh well together? Will I be able to handle solo work? Are there any certain abilities from them that are must-haves?
Thank you all for sharing any opinions you have to offer!
